Well I returned them both and yesterday, they send me an email that they would be giving me a store credit for the dress but they were returning the shoes to me. Hi Diana! The platform is design to sell to women only. I contacted Poshmark stating the item was brand new but I just received a generic response If there are any problems with your returned order when you receive it back, please go to your order in the App or website, tap on Problem/Order Inquiry and report the issue through the Report Problem with Return. button. The problem is that there was no problem with the item to start with! I decided not to sell on Poshmark..too much cliquey behaviorSome lsdies have been gracious and lovely, and Ive gotten real deals..even steals.Pick your battles..ordered 3 slip..were nothing more thanhip length camisoles..oh well. I started buying on Poshmark two weeks ago, so Im definitely a newbie and just learning the ropes. So many sellers dont give you any info and you have to comment to find out basic information like the fiber content or the length of a skirt. I have read a lot of horror stories like this happening to people unfortunately. No one sees it but you. So sorry that happened to you! Thats ridiculous! high fees and noone is serious. , and that the RARE collectors items I have listed high are being sold by many others at the same price point so of course Im going to try to make the money where I can PLUS I spent sourcing & research effort m time , money , tax and shipping cost to get that items and of course Im going to try to profit if i can esp when I am losing money on so much other stuff to balance things out but my biggest under was why does she care what Im doing? I guess she didnt realize that I could cancel the order on my end, but now I have to relist everything. What I like about Posh is that it has mostly clothing items, and frequently if I want something from a previous season, or another color of something I have and like, I can get it on Posh. I also use Tradesy. Everything is dry cleaned before sale and Id never sell anything with any noticeable issue and I check thoroughly. Only to get a no reply email from Poshmark that my jacket was a counterfeit, and the listing taken down. Lucky for Poshmark. I just sold a Coach bag recently with many upclose and clear pictures and a detailed description. I once got a scarf that was supposed to be silk and I doubted it was, but it was greatly discounted, so I did not make a big deal out of it. A few options pop up, and one of them is "block this user". So I talk to this girl who started making human hair wigs because shes a cancer survivor and needed them for herself. The whole thing is odd and kind of sketchy! As far as low ballers all you have to do is ignore them. I started on Posh and left, due to constant issues.Ive been on Mercari since 2015 and like their platform much better. When they buy it payment is already sent through and cleared.. Only because of the comments mentioned here where buyers dispute the item, damage it or try to take advantage somehow. And forget about offering gallery-quality jewelry on Poshmark. I too, am tired of the lowballs, and high commission that Poshmark takes on even lower priced items. The low balling when stated as firm- yep. Thank you for making me feel I was not alone. Great article and thanks for sharing. Poshmark depends on certain balanced incentives to produce great growth. There customer service is horrible, especially for what they charge! I think every platform is catered to a specific customer; however, you find low-ball offers on most of them. They have never ever responded to me about anything in the past. I did get one snarky message in my notifications but I could not read it as it was truncated. A lady friend referred me to Poshmark. But then I had a bad customer service experience with Poshmark that caused me to wonder if all the time I was spending on the app was worth it. I ship the same day and love that all I have to do is print out a label and take it to my mailbox. I hover around 50 or so listings, so not a huge closet, but its nice to make a few dollars here and there. I would also encourage others to do the same that is the only way they will correct the fraudulent behavior!! Currently using Poshmark, but it needs so much improvement and yes, I put so much effort into packaging my items making sure each is clean and free of pilling, etc., wrapping in pretty paper, sending thank you notes, including little cosmetic samples and chocolates, etc, etc. I dont know if theyll ban me because I do still buy a lot of stuff on there.) Mercari didnt do anything but send me the same copied and paste reply that I was shit out of luck. I just bought, after 9 months on Poshmark selling actual high quality Branded clothing, one of the Boutique items Poshmark sells to Poshers through their wholesale option. She didnt get it in time for her party so she opened a case. Please read the description as well as the comments. They always said work it out with the buyer. Fortunately I decided to google for reviews first. #2 Im not on there as a hobby, Im trying to make rent & liquidating NEW mostly NWT items ( i got wholesale- i work in apparel) and yes sometimes my personal buys but those are also either NWT or EUC that are I list much lower than I should and more importantly #3- ITS MY BUSINESS both on a personal and business level- my pricing is my prerogative and she doesnt need to by from me ( no to mention the items I list high are rare and highly desired.. like a baseball card or any other collector item do i have to sell it for $5 bc I bought it for $4? But after sharing, liking, and following others, there doesnt seem to be much return. I emailed many times. They brag about entering the closet and making nasty comments and offering 3.00 on every listing. I totally relate to this post. The guesswork put into the algorithms of Poshmark is a job in and of it self. I would love to find a place to sell that does not require the 20% commission and will not require tons of time. But it got me very upset. Good luck! However, I did have the same experience related in reason 1 with a dust bag I sold. I know theyll be appreciated and, as a buyer, Ive just learned to be more discriminating. I made a listing within my closet, never stating her name (1-bc her user name changed frequently) I simply used her stolen pics and showed fellow honest Poshers how to use Veracity. I can not get the money for the sale. Im so glad I found a place with similar stories. Smh. I actually tried Mercari for a while but all I got were seriously lowball offers on all my stuff (like $3.00 lowballs). I just started using Poshmark. This delays my shipping time. Ive had to cancel orders because the seller just ignores the purchase and never sends the item. I was just wondering how you get buyers to your shop with the platform Poshmark offered. and within minutes the items had offers and instant sales. I do think they have some algorithm that controls how many people see your share. If you get it sent back video tape the moment you grab the package and open it and see whats in there. I sell some on eBay and Tradesy as well just to expose my items to a wider audience. They sided with her and refunded the money. wonder why they arent selling, or think people are low balling them. I do not want to have my items listed on any venue that will not protect its sellers. If not, oh well. amking45 @dhampyre hey are you bored or something???? She then gave me one star saying that I mislead her because they were not ugg and that I lied, however it was just her not being able to read. I do see a lot of items noted as sold on Merc or sold on tradsey. Ive had completely ungrateful ratings and rude comments left, even when getting an item close to 90% off in mint condition complaining of perfume smell (it was sitting by an air freshener). The Seller posted a picture of New With Tags No Box for a pair of Toms shoes I had been interested in. I am looking to get into the job of reselling making something strong. Ive found that frustrating as a buyer myself. Ill definitely look into Tradesy, DePop, etc., but think a class-action lawsuit against Poshmark will prove the point quite nicely. The description stated that there was a small, barely noticeable stain under one arm of the dress. I turned the entire page and listings into posh so hopefully they will just terminate the account. I dont feel so alone now. Borovic uses her earnings to make her $156 loan payment and it sometimes even pays her Ohio rent. $5 or less offers. That looks like a phone number and his responses were in broken English. Hi Nicole! Another guy did something similar and offered $30. ( maybe crammed her fat butt into it and tore it ?) Im actually leaving PM this week. But I like you missed the social aspect, I had regular buyers that I had became friends with. Then there are the pervert trolls. Ive had 2 offers from people who joined the same day (or within days) as the offer. Im so over it right now. I have had a 5 star rating, about 25 sales so far. Id rather save $34 and wait!). L N C. Just wanted to offer my support and validation of your Poshmark experience. Bethany I agree with you. Of all the online apps Ive ever used, Poshmark customer service is by far the worst. I came across your article while trying google how to block unwanted Tradesy buyers. It was even obvious in the comments that they were sold as the girl who bought them thanked me for them. Oh then I deleted the item and relisted. I have many complaints about poshmark, but lowballing for $7 shipping doesnt make sense(?!). Complete disaster. I am bombarded with party invites daily and my time has been wasted further wasted. I am very disheartened I spent so much time listing items, repeatedly having to reword my listings due to ridiculous character limits. Was going to try eBay but I also feel it will get lost in the masses and have been contemplating Shopify since I have such a passion about what I want to do. I sold a very rare jar of MAC pigments (a discontinued shade, worth a lot of money). I work full time plus some and am a single mother, so I pass up time wasters as much as possible. Hi Kelly! Thanks for the comment! The $9.98 maxi dress ( plus $2.99 shipping) I bought on ebay, from China..is all over Poshmark, selling for as high as $60if you peruse ebay, and those budget Asian stores ( Shein, Sammydress,floryday..the Wish appyou csn expect to see the same items , usingvthe same stock photos(!!!) I also dont like that they want you to spend hours every week on the site liking and following others. Transactions and let it be known on my post! Thank you for sharing your experience! Well the women purchased this brand new dress from me an I mailed it out on the same day as she wanted it for a weekend party .. so I went above an beyond an she received it an on the 3rd day she opens a case against me claiming that the sizing wasnt right an it couldnt of been a size Large 12-14 , an wanted her money back ! At worst, your account could be banned permanently and you won't be able to sell anything on Poshmark . One lady bought a stole, then had the nerve to say it didnt fit like the picture. I too had thought that it would be a good side gig when I retired. All the best to all you other sellers as well . The return was actually denied by Poshmark so Im definitely thankful to be done with that mess!! Glad you found a better way loved your article!! I agree with you unless it comes to high end, in-demand and hard-to-find designer items. She probably had buyers remorse I thought. As the seller said it didnt leave her house that way. I strive to be a seller that is honest and that people dont have to worry about buying from. Everyone wants items for $5.00 and theyre under the impression that its a garage sale. The ridiculous amount of fakes sold on Poshmark is why honest people who sell authentic items get hosed and rated badly by people with buyers remorse or who scream fake when they have no idea how to check authenticity. even though I like /love a lot of the clothes on Posh I think a lot of people didnt take it seriously enough. It works both ways. on tradsey or something similar. I went into their site but find it hard to understand. Ive only tried to sell through eBay a year ago. I had just had a case opened with a bundle I made, everything was good and ready to go. And dont even get me started on the wholesale portal! The buyer usually has more to lose than the seller does and if buyers dont trust Poshs customer service and know that they can return when the description is genuinely wrong, then they wont buy. If you can deal with them then you will sell if not dont try to sell on Poshmark you will not make it at all. I have never in my entire life of purchasing on line seen how lazy Poshmark sellers are. Hi Sherri. I dont sell anything that isnt in very good or new condition, and I would never be deceitfulEVER! Sold. After finding this blog, and following this comment section, I was inspired to create Beyond Poshmark: https://www.reddit.com/r/beyond_poshmark/, If youd like some support, or are looking for alternative selling ideas, please check it out . I agree the lowball offers are ridiculous and Im offended! This is from Poshmark: If you block a fellow community member, this person will not be able to follow you, like, comment, make an offer, share or purchase any of your listings. I still have a closet on Poshmark that points people to my new site (that is, until Poshmark bans me..lol. 3-4 occasions where something was not as described or damaged when I got it and they accept the return or gave me a posh Credit in one instance but in other cases they have totally back me up. Firstly, she was trying to take advantage of someone who was in a very emotional situation, and who knows how many times this ploy has worked in the past for her but I cant be bullied and I wont tolerate a manipulating opportunist having a temper tantrum because I didnt give in to her berating. Buyer gets it and immediately wants a refund because of said noted, photographed, and described damage! Just constant drama and bs. How is that allowed?! It doesnt even make sense that they give $5 dollars credit when shipping is $6.49 its better not to even use a referral code. Mind you that Ive had over 30 other sales with much more expensive items and never had this problem so it baffles me that then a user would think Id go and scam for $15 technically a $12 profit. My computer is all the tech I need. Spent a ton of money on buying them. They STILL approve the return and send the item back even with supporting documentation! She is completely insane. I take clear pictures with 6s iPhone of the front, back, labels, the closures, the buttons on the sleeves, and any cute details. For everything else, I use resale stores like Beacons Closet, Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads. However, the buyer contacted me and said that the glasses I sold her were scratched. Nothing came, or was updated on Posh. So back to Ebay I go. I decided that, if the stain was barely noticeable, it wouldnt matter if I was unable to remove it and I went ahead and purchased the dress. Im probably going to start moving items to another site in the future. Me nasty emails! Its a sad place for sellers these days. I find it appalling that they truly believe someone *should* spend 12-18 hours a day on their app sharing USED clothing over and over again just to be bumped up in their algorithms and have a fighting chance of exposure. I stubbles across this today after a buyer rated me days after receiving her top. I think I am going to dump the app after my last sale gets delivered. I even wrote a very nice message on her page apologizing, asking what I could do to make it right and she did not respond! Thank you again though! It just shows that they lack the protection for you since you were loyal to Poshmark for couple of years as a Top Seller. I deleted my account about 2 years ago (also out of frustration and disgust with their business practices) and though they tried to entice me to stay, I was able to completely separate from them. As a seller I wish I had seen this before I was scammed by a buyer. There are a lot of great things about Poshmark, but they should really do something about the lowballers and the people who give bad reviews when they arent warranted. I, fortunately, only bought one on the Last One Reduced Price Listing by a Boutique Posher. What the fuck is wrong with people. When I read all this posh sounds very, very creepy, Hi I have been selling on posh for a year now.theys took all my stuff of there web because I sold a few lipstick I though they were authentic but they turn out to be not,well they owe me $ 90 dollars and its been getting processed since dec 19th I keep emailing them to please deposit my money because I want to delete my account I emailed about 10 to since dec I havent got paid. Aside from having no personal interaction with sellers, backing up sellers, and even posting there is a time suck. I wonder is it worth it? Therefore, Poshmark does allow the sellers to file a follow up report if there is an issue with the return. Really lady how fat and wide are you that you cant fit into a one size fits all stole? Once a user is blocked, they will not be able to Like, Comment, Make an Offer, Share or Purchase any of your listings. I have been buying on Posh for about a year, but first time seller. I made my first sale March 18, 2017 I have never been on social media until now. I responded to the case with a lengthy and detailed rebuttal explaining how this isnt my bag (or, even if it is, that the buyer has now cut holes into it). The ridiculous reason why!? For sellers who have their own businesses, I can TOTALLY understand how PM is just too time consuming and not that rewarding in return. Jessica, youre not the only person that has happened to. This is only after they posted on my comments wall asking when I would be shipping the bag and incessant questions. People who offered reasonable prices were ostracized. I also sold and item and received only a 4 star rating for no reason at all, I did everything right. Boom, done. Well duh they are used. This unfortunately happened to me. So I get my two items returned, and figured, they are NOW scratched and the make-up train I sold her is ruined inside. Even ebay did a better job. I have gotten so many direct emails and messages asking me how I left Poshmark and started my own e-commerce business and Ive finally put everything Ive learned into an e-book. I am wasting a tremendous amount of time sharing from other closets just to get traffic to my closet. Im giving major deals & passing on my discount ( trying to get a small margin if i can but on there its hard!) Thanks for sharing I dont feel like its just me. 3. When I contacted them they said that the fine print states you cant use free shipping with referral codes. Me and poshmark have a love hate relationship I love the fact that I can make money without all the footwork but the thing I despise is the fact they have full control over my closet. I have taken allmost all my preowned irems off but i know Ill have problems anyway. Especially the high end name brand ? A block won't let a user tag you or see things you post on your . Gradually ebay swerved everything in the buyers direction. Yes, there is still the good old fashioned consignment store, I sell on Mecari and saw a huge difference in sales from Posh.
